are they needed

 

[Tfsi_Mike]

One time out of the many so far Ive opened the boot (playing), It didnt open right away - but then after a couple of seconds it did.

Im going to look at the bumpers on my mates Stylance as they are the springy / damper type and mine are fixed/ solid, might try his

Ok thanks!
Didn't know they did a set for the mk2????
Have you modified mk1 Leon repeaters???
Any links?

 

[Tfsi_Mike]

Think they were for mkII / MkV golf as they came with bulb holders / adapters. They're like hens teeth atm.

 

[Tfsi_Mike]

Ordering a BSH TB to intercooler pipe on pay weekend.

[Tfsi_Mike]

Continued....

All flocked;

After;

Quick snaps that I managed to het, excuse iPhone pics;

Sent the heater blower rings off this morning and will be doing the steering column and the front pillars next too.

On the search for 3 space savers18" (anyone?), a gearbox (to finally get a diff) and the back part of the dashboard where the big oval is for blowing air on the screen. (for flocking)


Fitted my winter tyres - AVON Ice touring

Summer tyres gone in thier jackets

 

[S.E.C.T.]

Good effort Mike! Not sure about the flocking, the dash definitely looks better darker and what you have done is certainly unique. I have seen other dash's coloured gloss black / carbon wrapped and I think I prefer it that way.

What happened to weight saving? - carrying the wheels round that!!

Ive seen an interior with gloss black touches and said I was going to do it myself as I like it. Think it's too shiny though, although I mainly did it for aesthetics it also helps reduce any glare / reflection.

I think when I've done the pillars back part of the dash and heater rings it will all tie together nicely.

Got a few ideas for a bit of trimming to help it all tie in but I have things higher on the never ending list.. Lol

The tyres were only being transported home lol

 

[knight]

Love the flocked dash parts

 

[Tfsi_Mike]

Cheers

Just popping out to remove the steering column now lol Gonna look ace by spring

 

[Bignod00]

Gonna look ace by spring

+ 1 to that mate, loving your work!

 

[Tfsi_Mike]

Hoping I can scrounge the back half of the dash, will look awesome then!
